When I coined the term “Scarcity Trauma” I was conducting a research study on PTSD in my Midtown Manhattan laboratory. I realized that many therapists dont talk about scarcity and that this is because they dont come from scarcity and never lacked resources. After I started using the term the concept went viral, soon famous therapists were reaching out to thank me for talking about a topic they had never addressed. Like many other Millennials, I graduated with hundreds of thousands in student loan debt. 💵 This triggered my fears related to scarcity trauma and contributed to many poor choices in life. I chose paths, not because they fulfilled me, but because I was afraid to take risks and to lose it all.❤️🩹 I used to be so ashamed of where I came from because most of my peers had more resources. 😔 Now, I am so proud that I have overcome scarcity trauma and I speak openly about my past so that others can shed their shame and speak their truth. 🫂 I am fortunate that I can now give back to my community and that I am an advocate for health equity. 👩🏽⚕️ What’s your scarcity trauma story and how has it shaped your path? 📲👇🏽
